We have a mandate for change In North West London, our Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) builds on a central core that has undergone full public consultation, been agreed by the Secretary of State for Health, and has already successfully delivered many of its planned benefits without requesting additional capital expenditure. This core component is a clinically-led portfolio of programmes called Shaping a Healthier Future (SaHF). SaHF is a comprehensive and ambitious strategy, covering physical health services in primary care, the community and hospitals, and it is key to fully meeting the ambitions of the Five Year Forward View (FYFV) in NW London. The SaHF proposals underwent full public consultation in 2012. The preferred option was published in a Decision Making Business Case (DMBC) in February 2013 which was approved by a Joint Committee of PCTs and then subsequently by the Secretary of State for Health in October 2013. The key feature of the DMBC was an interconnected model of care in which: most clinical activity takes place in the community, enabled by out of hospital hubs where services are co-located and primary care is delivered at scale our acute services are reconfigured to ensure better quality care and clinical sustainability, while also achieving financial sustainability. This is principally achieved by concentrating valuable clinical capability across fewer sites This Strategic Outline Case (SOC) sets out how the right investment will be made to close the three gaps defined in the FYFV, namely health and wellbeing, care and quality, and finance and efficiency. This SOC comes with the whole-hearted support of clinicians, hospital trusts, community providers and health commissioners across NW London. The principles of this SOC have been widely discussed with our local authorities, patient and public representatives, Health & Wellbeing Boards, local councillors and MPs. We are now planning a further extensive and detailed period of engagement locally to help shape local investment plans and new service models. Be well and live well: this is our vision for a better health system in NW London Our vision for health and care in NW London is that everyone living, working and visiting here has the opportunity to be well and to live well. We know that currently the quality of care and the experience and outcomes for people varies across NW London. Residents of NW London will have their clinical and social care needs met in the place that is most familiar to them, which will, for the most part, be in their own home. We will implement a model of care to save patients unnecessary visits to acute hospitals by reducing unwarranted variation in the management of long term conditions in the community, improving care planning and case management for people with complex needs, and providing more seven-day access to both hospital and out of hospital care. We will achieve better outcomes through consolidating expert care for particular acute conditions onto fewer sites. We have already made a lot of progress but we know there is sizable opportunity to do much more. We developed our STP in direct response to NHS England’s FYFV, the General Practice Forward View (GPFV) and the Mental Health Forward View (MHFV), and it describes how we will change the historical approach to managing care. The NW London STP covers eight boroughs and encourages greater coordination and cooperation across the health and care system, reflecting the way patients use it. We will take our out-dated, reactive, increasingly acute-based model of care and turn it on its head, through a new model where patients take more control, supported by an integrated system Executive Summary 2 2 which proactively manages care. The default position will be to provide care close to people’s homes, and only resort to the acute sector when there is no safe alternative for that person. This will improve health and wellbeing, and care and quality, for all our residents, and help our providers and commissioners achieve financial balance so that we can continue to deliver safe and effective services. The case for change Our current system is unsustainable: the health and wellbeing of our residents is not well-managed locally, care and quality suffers as too many services are offered from too many sites, and our health and care system is facing significant financial deficits. It is clear that we have to change our health and care model to close the gaps identified in the FYFV. There are a number of challenges facing health and care services in NW London: An ageing population with increasingly complex and resource intensive health needs, with an increase in the overall population At any given time, almost one third of inpatient beds in our acute hospitals are occupied by people who could and should be better cared for elsewhere, preferably in their own homes Unacceptable variation in the quality and delivery of all services, as well as in health outcomes; for example: there is a difference of 17 years in our best and worst life expectancy, depending on where you live Hospital Standardised Mortality Rates, though generally low, vary from 0.76 to 0.90 between our best and worst performing acute providers (June 2016) average length of stay for patients admitted to hospital for procedures e.g. elective primary knee replacement surgery varies from 4.3 days to 7.5 days in most general practices, there is approximately 40% or lower adherence to the statin prescribing guideline for people with diabetes, despite the strong correlation with good control of serum cholesterol which is protective against cardiovascular disease A reactive health service where resources are still focused on getting patients better rather than keeping people well to start with Workforce capacity with shortages in supply expected in many professions and expected increases in demand, combined with the need for a skilled workforce to deliver a 7-day service under the current model across multiple sites Too many small hospitals resulting in a compromise of clinical productivity for the residents of NW London, with valuable clinical resources being spread too thinly and the inability to drive high quality specialist care which can be achieved by concentrating care into fewer large hospitals A large proportion of GP practices operate out of outdated premises that are often poorly accessible and with limited facilities for additional services. Although services do provide a good standard of care at the moment, they are not sustainable in their current form. There is a high risk that as services become unsustainable, it will be patients, their carers, and the clinicians who treat them and care for them, who will be the first to feel the consequences. We need to ensure that people in NW London have access to the right care, in the right place at the right time. High quality, effective treatments for patients need to be provided consistently where they are needed, within places that are appropriate for individual needs. Care needs to be provided in a more integrated way, in partnership with social services and local government. It must be clear to patients how to access their care, and they must be able to move between different care settings with no disruption to the care they receive. More investment needs to be made in GP services and other local healthcare services, so they are more consistent and of a higher standard, bringing better routine treatments closer to home and Executive Summary 3 3 supporting more services outside hospitals. Alongside this, clinical teams need to be established so that patients needing specialist treatment can be certain they will be seen by experienced specialist clinicians, who are familiar with, and who regularly treat, similar patients with their condition. Our acute provider trusts face enormous financial challenges: currently trusts are running in-year deficits which will require an estimated cash support of £1.1bn over the next ten years, and we simply cannot afford to subsidise this. Given the population health trends, coupled with our current model of care and health infrastructure, we can only achieve our vision by making major changes to how we deliver care. Personalised, localised, coordinated and specialised: this is our proposed solution We will reconfigure health services so that they are personalised, localised, coordinated and specialised across health and social care providers to improve care for our patients. Personalised, enabling people to manage their own health and wellbeing PERSONALISED and to offer the support they need to do this. To provide care based on individual need for people and their carers where it is required. Localised where possible, allowing for a wider variety of services closer LOCALISED to home. This ensures services, support and care is convenient. Delivering services that consider all the aspects of a person’s health and COORDINATED wellbeing and are coordinated across all the services involved. This ensures services are appropriate and efficient. Centralising services where necessary for specific conditions ensuring SPECIALISED greater access to specialist treatment to deliver high quality care. Our proposed model of care consists of two inter-related parts.
